Hoi, So when as a result of your yihad the worst of what you imagine comes out, the most you have achieved is that you can say "this is why I think he is an asshole". Then what. It does not change a thing. We are still intend on sharing the sum of all knowledge. You still have to do a lot of convincing before most other people would agree with you.
The problem with your single issue approach is achieves more turmoil than anything else. I fail to understand people like you. It is no longer about what we hope to achieve. I have tried to engage you in meaningful talk but for me it failed.
The one question that I have. In all your hiha I have not understood that you understand what it is what Jimmy uniquely brings to our community. He is really effective as an ambassador for what we do. In this there is noone who can replace him. How do you want to replace him. Arguably the latest crop of board members have shown how hard it is in the first place to make a meaningful contribution. Thanks, GerardM

On March 21, Jimmy posted excerpts from an email conversation he'd had with James Heilman on his Wikipedia user talk page, making further allegations against James.[1]
James replied twice:

Jimmy Wales' summary above of our email correspondence is far from complete, and is not an accurate representation of the overall discussion. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:22, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
Jimbo, you quoted some passages of our mails above. Would you have any objection to my posting the complete exchange, so that the parts you quoted can be seen in context? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:09, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
<end of quote>
Jimmy Wales ignored the latter question until the thread was archived.
So – will the community get to see the complete exchange or not, so that everyone can judge for themselves how it was misrepresented by Jimmy's selective quoting?

If we are going to have more elections, can we please hold Jimmy to account this year rather than waiting for him to leave the board under his own steam?
His use of "utter fucking bullshit", then using these distraction politics to avoid answering basic questions intended to deal with his repeated public allegations of lying against a respected community member, is not what the Wikimedia movement needs or wants from a Trustee, or someone who represents the movement to the press.
If Jimmy were a WMF employee, he'd be gone by now.
P.S. We are still waiting for Jimmy to publish his interviews with WMF employees resulting from his trip to SF, when he was claiming to act for the WMF board, I can't be bothered to work out how many weeks ago that was. Is this sort of promise that Jimmy would call "bullshit" if it was yet another person he had an ongoing feud with?
Fae

But I did publish something on my user talk page that is relevant.
